The Wines of Greece with Tonya Rawe DipWSET – In Person or Online

1 1/2 hours, $95

Greece boasts one of the oldest wine cultures in the world, yet its wines remain one of the industry’s best-kept secrets. In this class, we’ll explore indigenous grapes like Assyrtiko, Moschofilero, Xinomavro, and Agiorgitiko, tasting our way from the volcanic vineyards of Santorini to the cooler highlands of the mainland and Peloponnese. Along the way, we’ll uncover how thousands of years of winemaking history meet a modern renaissance now capturing the attention of sommeliers and collectors alike.

The tasting lineup will be announced closer to the event, once final selections are confirmed.

Participants may choose to attend in person at the Capital Wine School or virtually on Zoom.
